Leia discovers she is pregnant with a biracial child but before she can tell her conventional Southern family, her grandmother slips into dementia and Leia discovers that the elderly woman has been hiding a secret linked to the Civil War. - HARPERCOLL
With empathy, grace, humor, and piercing insight, the author of gods in Alabama pens a powerful, emotionally resonant novel of the South that confronts the truth about privilege, family, and the distinctions between perception and reality---the stories we tell ourselves about our origins and who we really are.
Superheroes have always been Leia Birch Briggsâ weakness. One tequila-soaked night at a comics convention, the usually level-headed graphic novelist is swept off her barstool by a handsome and anonymous Batman.
It turns out the caped crusader has left her with more than just a nice, fuzzy memory. Sheâs having a baby boyâan unexpected but not unhappy development in the thirty-eight year-oldâs life. But before Leia can break the news of her impending single-motherhood (including the fact that her baby is biracial) to her conventional, Southern family, her step-sister Rachelâs marriage implodes. Worse, she learns her beloved ninety-year-old grandmother, Birchie, is losing her mind, and sheâs been hiding her dementia with the help of Wattie, her best friend since girlhood.
Leia returns to Alabama to put her grandmotherâs affairs in order, clean out the big Victorian that has been in the Birch family for generations, and tell her family that sheâs pregnant. Yet just when Leia thinks sheâs got it all under control, she learns that illness is not the only thing Birchieâs been hiding. Tucked in the attic is a dangerous secret with roots that reach all the way back to the Civil War. Its exposure threatens the familyâs freedom and future, and it will change everything about how Leia sees herself and her sister, her son and his missing father, and the world she thinks she knows.
